Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was blasted on social media on Thursday after appearing in a video that showed her feeding a chip to a woman on her knees.
The woman in the video is feminist author Liz Plank, who has worked at NBC News and Vox Media. In the 8-second clip, Whitmer, while wearing a Harris/Walz cap, feeds a Doritos chip to Plank, who is sitting on her knees in front of the Michigan governor. Plank captioned the video, “if he won’t, big gretch will.”
Whitmer told Democrats at the party’s convention in Chicago in August that “in Lansing, they call me governor, but in Detroit, I’m Big Gretch!”
Shortly after posting the clip, however, Plank edited her caption to say, “If he won’t, Gretchen Whitmer will. Chips aren’t just delicious, the CHIPS Act is a game-changer for U.S. tech and manufacturing, boosting domestic production of semiconductors to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers! Donald Trump would put that at risk.” The $52.7 billion CHIPS Act was signed into law by President Joe Biden in August 2022, claiming it would fight inflation.
Many Instagram users who commented on the Plank’s post stated that they were appalled by the video.
“This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen,” one social media user wrote.
“This is disgraceful,” another added.
“Wtf is this supposed to be? Disgusting,” another Instagram user commented.
The Daily Wire has reached out to Whitmer’s office for comment.
The video also circulated on X with New York Post reporter James David Dickson writing, “Why [is] Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer feeding chips to a woman who’s on her knees? And where is the rest of the video?”

“Strange,” political commentator Michael Cernovich wrote.
Other conservatives on social media said the video appeared to be a mockery of the Holy Eucharist, with Whitmer acting as a priest.

“Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer feeds a left-wing podcaster a Dorito as if it’s the Eucharist while wearing a Kamala/Walz hat. But word on the street is that JD Vance is weird and that MAGA is a cult,” said GOP communications strategist Greg Price.
Plank also recorded a 9-minute interview with Whitmer on her show “Chip Chat.” During the interview, Plank asked the governor, “You have two daughters. When they come back home and they leave their Stanley Cups lying around, do you ever think about getting a post-birth abortion?”
After laughing, Whitmer replied, “Thank you for raising that because there’s no such thing. So I think it’s really important for us to make sure people understand that.”
In 2019, Plank released a book titled “For the Love of Men: A New Vision for Mindful Masculinity.” The book aims to provide “actionable steps for how to be a man in the modern world while also exploring how being a man in the world has evolved.” Plank has written multiple pieces for MNSBC on the issue of abortion, arguing in a 2022 op-ed in defense of Roe v. Wade that “men are direct beneficiaries of abortion rights in America.”
“Since many men seem to enjoy having sex with women, I would assume most men do not want to live in a world where they can’t access birth control,” Plank added.
